Perceptual understanding of customs declaration industry?

Basic introduction of customs declaration industry

200111After five years of hard negotiations, China finally joined the WTO. This indicates that China has entered the world market economy system, and will gradually integrate into the global economy system and participate in global competition. China's entry into the WTO has brought not only unlimited business opportunities but also great challenges to China. The same is true for us personally. How can we fully grasp the infinite opportunities brought by China's entry into WTO? Only by constantly learning and enriching ourselves can we meet the challenges of the future and realize our ideals in life.

In this era, customs declarers, as a potential profession, are increasingly favored by people of insight. With the deepening of China's entry into WTO, China's import and export trade will usher in a golden period of development. The country will gradually relax the import and export qualifications of enterprises, and more enterprises, especially those from the mainland, will join this import and export army. In this way, the demand for customs declarers will continue to increase, and the employment prospects of those who have obtained the qualification certificate of customs declarers will be bright (according to statistics, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Shandong and other coastal areas have developed in recent years, and customs declarers are becoming an enviable profession. In foreign countries, customs declaration has become a respected and envied social profession. Generally speaking, "professional customs declarers" are independent subjects, with standardized services, high customs declaration quality, relatively high wages and self-contained systems. International customs declarers are quite familiar with customs business, even more familiar with customs operation and foreign trade laws and regulations than grass-roots customs staff.

Then, what is a customs broker, what qualities do you need to be a customs broker, and how can you become a customs broker? The so-called customs broker refers to the technical personnel who are engaged in customs declaration, tax payment and delivery of goods when entering and leaving the customs in import and export trade and need professional technical appraisal. Customs declaration is a comprehensive intellectual labor with wide knowledge, strong skills and rich practical experience. Customs declarers need to be familiar with the basic customs regulations, customs supervision system, customs operation procedures, import and export trade estimation, import and export companies, foreign trade transportation insurance and English knowledge. The prerequisite for becoming a customs declarant is to take the qualification examination, while the conditions for the national unified examination are quite broad: as long as 18 is over one year old, has full capacity for civil conduct, and has graduated from high school or technical secondary school or above. The examination adopts the principle of "openness, equality and competition", and the national unified registration date, unified proposition, unified examination paper (closed written test), unified scoring standard and unified admission. The examination contents include: customs declaration business foundation, foreign trade business foundation and basic English. Those who pass the examination, the Certificate of Customs Declarer is valid nationwide. After being employed by relevant enterprises within 3 years, they can become customs declarers after applying for registration with the customs. The first week of mid-March every year is the registration time for the national customs declaration examination, which lasts for one week and the examination time is the first week of June every year. The qualification examination in Beijing test area is supervised by Beijing Customs, which is responsible to the General Administration of Customs, while the education department is responsible for the examination work, including examination counseling. Personnel from other provinces and cities can register in the customs of this province. The qualification examination for customs declarers is difficult and the pass rate is low. The first national unified examination for the qualification of customs declarers was held on1997 65438+February 2 1, and more than 60,000 candidates took the examination. There are 0/.500 students in Beijing Examination Area, and 274 students are qualified, with a passing rate of about 18%, slightly higher than the international passing rate. The pass rate of many countries in the world, such as Japan and South Korea, is 10%. The form of the examination paper is: the previous qualification examination for customs declarers had one or two volumes. A volume usually includes single choice, multiple choices and judgments, that is, 70 small questions (70 points). In 2000, it was changed to (100), and the added score was multiple choice. Its scope includes two volumes of the new edition of "Customs Practice Course" and about 50 specific topics of "Customs Practice"; About 20 topics in Import and Export Practice; Customs Basic English (Russian) 10 (10), so the first volume is 80 points, except for 2000 and 2006, which is 100. The second volume is the subjective topic, please refer to the book "Names and Codes of Import and Export Commodities", in which the commodity code in the second volume is 40 points, the filling (or amendment) of import and export declaration forms (20 or 30 items) is 30 points, and the score of * * * is 70 points, and the score of * *150 points is increased on the basis of the previous volume 80, such as 200/kloc. Without special circumstances, 120 is divided into qualified score segments (with a total score of 200). In particular, to become a qualified customs broker, you must have a professional English foundation for customs declaration, otherwise even if you pass the qualification examination for customs broker, you will encounter many difficulties in your future work. In order to pass the exam, different candidates should adopt different methods, either self-study or attending corresponding remedial classes (if possible). However, you need to test yourself with exercises or simulation questions three or four days before the exam. Of course, we should be strict with ourselves according to the time of the formal examination, and it is best for others to read the papers, and find out the right or wrong situation of each examination, suit the remedy to the case and strive for good results.

With the deepening of China's entry into WTO, various restrictions on import and export trade have been relaxed, and various new situations will emerge. In view of this situation, the textbook of the customs declaration examination in 2002 has also changed greatly compared with the past. The main performance is that the contents of the first volume of the textbook have changed greatly, while the second volume has not changed much. Changes are mainly reflected in tax rates, import and export varieties and so on. Therefore, before the new textbook comes out (the new textbook will come out around March next year), everyone should read the second volume of the 200 1 textbook when studying, so that they can take the time to review and prepare for the exam.

So, have you passed the customs declaration exam and obtained the corresponding qualification certificate, and everything will be fine? According to Article 12 of the Interim Provisions on the National Unified Examination for the Qualification of Customs Declarers, after obtaining the Qualification Certificate of Customs Declarers, you should register with the customs to become a customs declarant within three years, otherwise the certificate will be invalid. At the same time, you should also be a customs broker in the meantime. Those who meet the requirements shall register with the customs and be issued with a Customs Declarer's Certificate, which is valid for one year. The relevant personnel can handle the customs declaration business only after obtaining the customs declaration certificate. The customs will also conduct annual qualification examination on the personnel who serve as customs declarers. Therefore, after getting the certificate of customs declaration, don't let it sleep in the drawer, but actively find the corresponding job, because customs declaration itself is a practical work, and only by continuous work can we accumulate rich customs declaration experience and promote our further improvement.

Having said that, you should have a clear understanding of the customs declaration exam. Here, I wish you all success and good results.
